About this book
French and English Canadians who had fought together against American armies later faced one another in the disturbances of 1837. Alfred D. DeCelles sets that change within a longer account of British rule, French civil law, religious rights and the struggle over language in Lower Canada's Assembly. His historical narrative asks how an armed rebellion grew out of a relationship that he presents as largely peaceful.
The military chapters bring the argument down to roads, villages and makeshift defences. At St Denis, Wolfred Nelson prepares for approaching troops, while Colonel Gore's column struggles through rain, snow and mud before reaching the village. Accounts of the campaign sit alongside chapters on Papineau, parliamentary resolutions and official commissions.
